As Mr. Tomlinson recommended a week ago for your same question, are you doing the following experiment?

If so, then coming up with the formula is the project, and that is what you are going to explore! Have you tried out the java applet they recommend on the project idea page? Have you done other research on arbelos? If so, what have you found?

If you look closely at the shape, do you see familiar shapes in not only the white region but also the surrounding regions? What if you combined the white area and the blue area between the horizontal line and the white region? What shapes do you see?

Good luck!
